1See Docket No. RM2018–3, Order Adopting 

Final Rules Relating to Non-Public Information, 

June 27, 2018, Attachment A at 19–22 (Order No. 

4679). 

Federal positions while complying with 

appropriate rules and procedures. 

Federal agencies purchase the services 

of USA Staffing through an Interagency 

Agreement (IAA) under the provisions 

of the Revolving Fund, 5 U.S.C. 

1304(e)(1), which permits OPM to 

perform human resources management 

services for Federal agencies on a costrecovery basis. 

USA Staffing’s public facing web page 

for new hires provides a single interface 

to submit data and forms required 

during the Federal onboarding process. 

New Hires are individuals selected for 

Federal employment but who have not 

yet entered on duty and who 

authenticate at USA Staffing using their 

USAJOBS.gov accounts. USA Staffing 

captures the essential information 

Federal agencies require to onboard 

applicants for Federal jobs under the 

authority of 5 U.S.C. 1104, 1302, 3301– 

3320, 3361, 3393, and 3394. 

This information collection was 

initially approved under an emergency 

authorization in pursuit of compliance 

with Executive Order (E.O.) 14043, 

titled ‘‘Requiring Coronavirus Disease 

2019 Vaccination for Federal 

Employees.’’ This action seeks to 

reinstate the information collection 

independent of that Executive Order 

and instead focus on the regular 

business of the USA Staffing 

Onboarding system—gathering new hire 

information in pursuit of timely and 

efficient entry-on-duty actions. 

Some New Hire information elements 

collected by USA Staffing are collected 

under different OMB control numbers. 

Information for these elements that have 

their own approvals (such as the OF 306 

and I–9 forms) are not included in this 

collection. The subject of this 

information collection includes 

questions about basic identity, 

employment and service background, 

benefits enrollments, and payroll. The 

initial emergency clearance did not 

distinguish between these two contexts. 

The Office of Management and Budget 

is particularly interested in comments 

that: 

1. Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

2. Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

3. Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

4. Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submissions 

of responses.

Self-Regulatory Organizations; NYSE 

Chicago, Inc.; Notice of Filing and 

Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed 

Rule Change To Amend the 

Connectivity Fee Schedule 

December 14, 2023. 

Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) 1 of the 

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 

(‘‘Act’’) 2 and Rule 19b–4 thereunder,3

notice is hereby given that, on 

November 30, 2023, the NYSE Chicago, 

Inc. (‘‘NYSE Chicago’’ or the 

‘‘Exchange’’) filed with the Securities 

and Exchange Commission (the 

‘‘Commission’’) the proposed rule 

change as described in Items I and II 

below, which Items have been prepared 

by the self-regulatory organization. The 

Commission is publishing this notice to 

solicit comments on the proposed rule 

change from interested persons. 

I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement of the Terms of Substance of 

the Proposed Rule Change 

The Exchange proposes to amend the 

Connectivity Fee Schedule (the ‘‘Fee 

Schedule’’) to add circuits provided by 

Fixed Income and Data Services 

(‘‘FIDS’’) for connectivity into and out of 

the data center in Mahwah, New Jersey 

(the ‘‘MDC’’). The proposed rule change 

is available on the Exchange’s website at 

www.nyse.com, at the principal office of 

the Exchange, and at the Commission’s 

Public Reference Room. 

II. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement of the Purpose of, and 

Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule 

Change 

In its filing with the Commission, the 

self-regulatory organization included 

statements concerning the purpose of, 

and basis for, the proposed rule change 

and discussed any comments it received 

on the proposed rule change. The text 

of those statements may be examined at 

the places specified in Item IV below. 

The Exchange has prepared summaries, 

set forth in sections A, B, and C below, 

of the most significant parts of such 

statements. 

A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement of the Purpose of, and the 

Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule 

Change 

1. Purpose 

The Exchange proposes to amend the 

Connectivity Fee Schedule (the ‘‘Fee 

Schedule’’) to add circuits provided by 

Fixed Income and Data Services 

(‘‘FIDS’’) 4 for connectivity into and out 

of the data center in Mahwah, New 

Jersey (the ‘‘MDC’’). 

As background, market participants 

that request to receive colocation 

services directly from the Exchange 

(‘‘Users’’) require wired circuits 5 to 

connect into and out of the MDC. A 

User’s equipment in the MDC’s 

colocation hall connects to a circuit 

leading out of the MDC, which connects 

to the User’s equipment in their back 

office or another data center. 

Before 2013, all such circuits were 

provided by ICE’s predecessor, NYSE 

Euronext. In response to customer 

demand for more connectivity options, 

in 2013, the MDC opened two ‘‘meetme-rooms’’ to telecommunications 

service providers (‘‘Telecoms’’),6 to 

enable Telecoms to offer circuits into 

the MDC in competition with NYSE 

Euronext. Currently, 16 Telecoms 

operate in the meet-me-rooms and 

provide circuit options to Users 

requiring connectivity into and out of 

the MDC. As of June 1, 2023, more than 

95% of the circuits for which Users 

contracted were supplied by Telecoms, 

and all but two of the Users that used 

FIDS circuits as of that date also 

connected to Telecom circuits in the 

MMRs. 

The Exchange proposes to add several 

circuits provided by FIDS to the Fee 

Schedule. Specifically, the Exchange 

proposes to amend the Fee Schedule to 

add two different types of FIDS circuits, 

each available in three different sizes. 

Because FIDS is not a 

telecommunications provider, FIDS 

would purchase circuits from 

telecommunications providers, with 

portions allocated and sold to Users. 

First, the Exchange proposes to 

amend the Fee Schedule to add ‘‘Optic 

Access’’ circuits supplied by FIDS. 

Users can use an Optic Access circuit to 

connect between the MDC and the FIDS 

access centers at the following five 

third-party owned data centers: (1) 111 

Eighth Avenue, New York, NY; (2) 32 

Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY; 

(3) 165 Halsey, Newark, NJ; (4) 

Secaucus, NJ (the ‘‘Secaucus Access 

Center’’); and (5) Carteret, NJ (the 

‘‘Carteret Access Center’’). Optic Access 

circuits are available in 1 Gb, 10 Gb, and 

40 Gb sizes. 

Second, the Exchange proposes to 

amend the Fee Schedule to add lowerlatency ‘‘Optic Low Latency’’ circuits 

supplied by FIDS that Users can use to 

connect between the MDC and FIDS’s 

Secaucus Access Center or Carteret 

Access Center. Optic Low Latency 

circuits are available in 1 Gb, 10 Gb, and 

40 Gb sizes. 

The Exchange proposes to add the 

following chart to the Fee Schedule, 

under the new heading ‘‘E. FIDS 

Circuits’’: 

Type of service Fees 

Optic Access Circuit—1 Gb ...................................................................... $1,500 initial charge plus $650 monthly charge. 

Optic Access Circuit—10 Gb .................................................................... $5,000 initial charge plus $1,900 monthly charge. 

Optic Access Circuit—40 Gb .................................................................... $5,000 initial charge plus $4,000 monthly charge.
